From the Attorney Generals repeated orders to
the Alaska officials for the release Of the British
sealers il is evident that he is taken seriously
in that quarter. They suspected hoax every
time he sent peremptOry order and declined to
be taken in by the bluliing old poker player. II
the Attorney Generals new order for the release
of the vessels be received with similar contempt,
he will have TO appeal to the Secretary of the
Navy for aid Possibly if man-of-war were sent
to Sitka with orders TO fire upon the United
States officials broadside or two might convince
them that the Attorney -Ccnera was not practi-
cal joker.
One great trouble about Colonel Fellows is that

"1he Herald did q brilliant and crcditable
piece of work in exposing a big mining swindle
by sending a correspondent and an expert thou

Ilcrald's' zeal in the cause of good government
in this city has grown cold within few
days. The flames of Indignation against the
"boodlersr which bazed so fercely in its columns
only a little more than a week ago have been
frozen into icy Indifference through some mys-
FERROUS agency
One Of the parsimonous Brooklyn street car
companies ran open cars on Saturday Exposing

II IS a hearty greeting which "The Brooklyn
Eagle extends to ex-senator Jacobs on his APP
preaching Remittance into public life as a cand-
date for Senator in the lid District. 1t brings
together IN convincing array the election hsureS

Fcllows's superior. declared TO be guilty and
undcscrvne of mercy. The Colonel reconcilcd this
his conscience by saying that the convict !
Was tried under previous prosecutor. No man |
whose mental and moral processes are so elastic }
can be- elected in Ncw-York. According to this |
logic he could justify himself if he were chosen |
